Abstract Through reflections on the exhibition, ‘The Past is Now: Birmingham and the British Empire’, this article explores what happened when Birmingham Museums Trust attempted to display stories of the British Empire by practically applying decolonial theory. The pursuit of false neutrality as a means of exercising authority in museum displays about the British Empire is explored here as the form of imperial celebration, which the decolonial work responded to. Reflecting upon the difficulties of this endeavour and discusses the context of this work both from the perspective of museum workers and the author’s personal perspective as a Woman of Colour. In so doing, the article highlights how racial identities affects the ways decolonial practices are executed, in particular the impact of emotional labour and the value of lived experiences of People of Colour as counter narratives. As such it interrogates the concept of authority at the centre of this exhibition.

过去就是现在

摘要 通过对展览“过去就是现在:伯明翰与大英帝国”的反思,本文探讨了伯明翰博物馆信托试图通过实际应用去殖民理论来展示大英帝国故事时发生的事情。寻求虚假中立作为在关于大英帝国的博物馆展览中行使权威的一种手段在这里被探索为帝国庆祝的形式,非殖民主义作品对此做出了回应。反思这项工作的困难,并从博物馆工作人员的角度和作者作为有色人种女性的个人角度讨论了这项工作的背景。通过这样做,文章强调了种族身份如何影响非殖民化实践的执行方式,特别是情感劳动的影响和有色人种作为反叙事的生活经历的价值。因此,它质疑了本次展览中心的权威概念。
